some output comparisons
3200 lumens, philips 4300k HID
3600 lumens, 4x SSC 5000k LEDs

H1 12V 55W, 1550 lumens
HB3´12V 60W, 1700 lumens
2x SSC 5000k LED, 1800 lumens
3x SSC 5000k LED, 2700 lumens


math is simple 900 lumens per led
now since they are smaller and only about 10 watts each, a 40 watt set up will be just brighter than HIDs, and a little whiter (maybe not as good for eyes, but distinctly led)
u can flick them too (those who want HIGH BEAM output to be greatly increased without HID ballasts to blow)
so for fogs, i would do 2 leds per side, and for headlights 4 leds per light, im even thinking 8 for low, and 8 for high (so 8 for each side of the car ;-) )
that means i can flick my high beams at people FASTER than u can halogen even!
